I would think you would want RLOCs to continue to be Provider-Assigned addresses and thet CGEIDs are just like any other EID. That is, the CGEID's topological location could be found by doing a mapping database lookup. But yes, I have seen use-cases where folks want tunnel-endpoints to be mobile. And if you want to find a new location of the tunnel end-point, then you assign the tunnel-endpoint an EID. So let me be more precise in my language. The requirement was to make a GRE tunnel mobile. So if you configured the ends of a GRE tunnel to be in EID-space, either end could move if those EIDs mapped to locators, and LISP encapsulation is performed to an xTR adjacent to the GRE end-point or co-located with the GRE end-point. We have also see LISP use to make a routing protocol work over a wide-area network where multi-hop adjacencies were formed. cisco's EIGRP is doing this in some use-cases. > The biggest problem of a node seems to be reaching the map-servers/-resolvers > when bootstrapping.

Yes, there are military applications that want to do this as well. Dino > > > Regards, > > Renne > > > -- > Best regards, > > Rene Bartsch, B. Sc.
